More SLV scenes
In Japan: BCOF symbol on the windscreen panel. Many years ago a BCOF/Korean war veteran told me: there were so many surplus jeeps available in Japan "I had mine painted a bright yellow"

Old pics
Some of these pics I have posted previously but not in the higher resolution format.
https://find.slv.vic.gov.au/discover...ages&offset=50 PICTURE [Man, possibly Mr. Luciano Limoni, standing, wearing hat, hand resting on truck, Bonegilla or Bandiana] [picture] [ca. 1952] https://find.slv.vic.gov.au/discover...tains,bandiana https://find.slv.vic.gov.au/discover...iana&offset=10 Melbourne ARP exercise. This is a 1940 Pontiac conveying returned veterans: circa1945. The Victorian two letter reg. plate scheme began in 1939 with AA-000 and ended in 1953 with ZZ-999. Many vehicle restorers make the mistake of painting a white border on the plates.

Carrier
Carrier performing a balancing act.
Gas producer on a Ford sedan. I can remember VMVC member Colin Anderson making a gas producer and arriving at a club event with his vehicle running on charcoal. https://find.slv.vic.gov.au/discover...ion&offset=100
